9th Class Sword Master: The Guardian of the Sword - Chapter 85
Episode 85
Episode 37. Natalie’s Question (1)
Imperial Palace Special Conference Room.
Empress Asuka Roze was receiving a report from Cindy Mew, the white butterfly.
Cindy was wearing a mask over tight black greaves.
“So you’re saying we don’t know her identity?”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. Looking at the accent and appearance, nothing was identified except that he was from the Haseo-guk side. I’m assuming that he’s probably someone related to the Rose Society.”
“Jang Mi-hee… I get it. It doesn’t really matter. It’s important that Yuma said that there are traitors out there. Lord Duran said that. It seems that something happened in Yoheim.”
When Cindy left, the head of the Imperial Family’s special task force appeared.
“Special Commander. What do you think?”
“The recent actions of Archduke Winslting are suspicious. We have also confirmed that the meeting between Archduke Winslting and Sir Barrys Cannon and Sir Hayes Rollmandy was held in the Imperial Executive Chamber.”
“I wouldn’t go against me unless my husband went crazy.”
“Above all, it was also discovered that all mail from Joachim was blocked and managed. It is Archduke Winslting.”
“Hmm.”
“Catherine Jacques sent people to Joheim. We’ve been tailing them, so we’ll have a clue sooner or later.”
“It’s a new type of demon, let’s just watch it. It seems that my husband intends to rot for the rest of his life.
I have a feeling that Yuma will take care of this for me.”
That’s what kept Jecca Dean in prison.
For the empress, it was a kind of gamble.
Because it could have bought the Blue Dragon’s grudge.
“Shall we attach more members to Yuma?”
“No. Are you feeling it too?
All of the information that the white butterfly provides is only elements that can benefit Yuma. Yuma might have figured out that the white butterfly is on a special lease for the imperial family.”
“It can’t be. The white butterfly is even within the special lease…
“Yes, because he is the bastard of my husband.”
It wouldn’t be bad for the white butterfly to get caught up in this incident and die. The Empress did not utter those words.
* * * – Please take Jeka out.
Liz, who found Yuma after the payment of compensation, said so. It was a difficult request.
Yuma replied that he would definitely do that.
Natalie’s wound was recovering quickly. It was thanks to the use of precious healing herbs and pills that were only used by members of the imperial family.
These were drugs that were difficult to obtain, no matter how much money they had.
“Natal… Oh my. sorry.”
After finding Natalie’s hospital room, Yuma opened the door and turned around in embarrassment. I caught a glimpse of Natalie’s back, with minor scars from whiplashes and knife cuts.
She was changing with the help of the maids.
“Oops! sorry! Because we didn’t lock the door properly…
“It’s okay. Saigerd, who saw it all anyway.”
The maids blushed and carefully tied the laces of Natalie’s dress.
When the flustered maids left the hospital room, Yuma came in clearing her throat.
“The imperial dress suits you well.”
“Did you make this into clothes?
I don’t know what imperial bastards like.
Did practicality feed the dog? Why does your chest look so stuffy?”
I grumbled, but the dress that emphasized my body was very well received.
The wound he suffered in Yoheim had already been unstitched.
Among Natalie’s belongings was an elixir tailored to her constitution.
Due to the poison, she had a constitution completely different from that of ordinary people, so she needed a special elixir that only Natalie could make.
Along with all the precious medicines, the elixir enhanced the recovery effect.
In addition to poison, she also possessed considerable knowledge about medicine.
That’s why he knew that even the drugs used for his recovery had value that could easily be wiped out by an ordinary rich household in Haseo-guk.
Still, I didn’t want to say thank you out of my mouth.
“Hmm, now I can move a bit.”
Natalie didn’t look too upset, as if she had decided to forget about Evan.
“already?”
“Okay, let’s go together today to meet that bastard who says he’s Barris or something.”
“Are you okay?”
“Even with a worse injury than this, I still played the deciding match at the Jangmihoe.
I’ve been through even worse situations.
Sooner or later, my subordinates from the Rose Society will come. Prepare a lot of money.”
“Why is the money all of a sudden?”
“Isn’t it a waste?”
“No way. There is nothing in vain I can give you.”
“Oh my, why are you spouting gruff voices appropriate for your age? Does it give you goosebumps?”
Yuma didn’t answer and just laughed.
“Come under you. We need to set up a new headquarters for the rose society, but shouldn’t the boss do that? It makes me feel more at ease.”
Yuma was worried that Natalie would reject the offer due to the influence of the trip to Yoheim.
However, Natalie quickly decided to join Yuma as this happened.
Yuma’s influence while recovering in the Zach family was beyond imagination.
From the first time we met in Haseo, I assumed he would be a big player, but I didn’t expect him to be at this level.
Even though only the main members of the Zach family knew his identity, it was only a matter of time before he was exposed to the world.
Not one or two people would be curious about the identity of the woman Yuma risked his life to terrorize the gateway to save.
If that happens, the survival of the rose society will be endangered. Even within Haseoguk, he will never look favorably on his actions of helping the empire’s magnate.
In other words, from the moment he followed Yuma to Yoheim, his nose had been properly pierced.
The leadership of Haseo and the empire could put pressure on the rose society at the same time.
In that case, it was much safer in many ways to be completely subjugated to Yuma.
“I will find out the best place in the capital where the new rose society headquarters will be established.”
“It should come out like that. It is yours now.”
“Please use the name Jang Mi-hee as it is. You are still a rosary.”
“I don’t care too much about names, but I do. I have a place to stop before I meet Varys today.”
“Where is it?”
“I will know when I go.”
Yuma followed Natalie out of the Jacques mansion. The sight of them walking side by side with their arms crossed was an unmistakable lover.
“friend! Nice to see! It’s good that the lady seems to be feeling better too.”
It was Randel, who was peeling and eating apples in the garden with only the important parts covered with a towel like last time. Next to him was Damian, with a frown on his face.
“I will go to Sir Varys’s mansion.”
“Do whatever you want. It’s like your home while you’re there. Also, if you need medicine, just tell me, beautiful lady.”
“Ho Ho. Thank you Sir Randall. I received the flowers you sent me this morning.”
This time Yuma got goosebumps.
It was the first time I had ever seen Natalie speak so softly. Besides, what else could Randall’s stupid face mean?
“Did I not use the world of beauty while living with this face and this body? Of course it was. Now I have to be friendly with the Zach family. But don’t they work?”
“I have a lot of free time. Because he is a great nobility.”
“Anyway, it’s a beggar country, empire,”
Natalie walked familiarly, as if on a road she had walked many times.
It was surprising that he was quite good at the geography of the imperial capital.
The place where the two arrived was a high-class restaurant with the name ‘Morning Star’.
“welcome! Are there two of you?”
A neatly dressed waiter ushered us to our table. Natalie sat cross-legged and looked at the menu.
“I’d like to try some dishes that aren’t on the menu.”
“What kind of dish do you want…r “I came to eat Ice Sea Whale Sashimi.”
“Ah, you are a special guest. I will take you inside.”
The waiter ushered the two of them back. This time, it was a special room inside the restaurant.
“Natalie. Is this restaurant what I expected?”
“It will be right.”
It was a typical special room in a fancy restaurant.
As soon as Natalie sat down on the chair inside the special room, she took a long pipe out of her handbag and disassembled it.
Looking at the disassembled parts, it was a complex structure incomparable to that of ordinary pipes. Natalie started assembling again, fiddling around with parts.
Then the pipe changed shape like a key.
When one of the paintings on the wall of the special room was put aside, a keyhole was revealed. It was a hole that looked like a scratch because it had a different shape than a normal keyhole.
rattle.
When the reassembled pipe was put in, the wall surface opened as it was, and illusion magic was activated inside the special room.
Natalie and Yuma entered the passage on the inside of the wall, but the vision of the two remained.
“braided.”
“Amazing.”
“then. People who know this place are very few even in the rose society. Know it with honor, darling. Maybe it’s a trump card of the Rose Society?”
The ‘Morning Star’ was an imperial spy branch of the Rose Society disguised as a high-end restaurant. Stairs stretched down the aisle.
“Meet the Lord!”
People who had just been doing something gathered and knelt down. Indeed, Natalie gave off the appearance of a ruler of the dark family of Haseo.
“Wake up.”
“yes!”
Under the stairs was a large underground space. Dozens of stacks of papers taller than a normal man’s were piled up like pillars.
When Yuma picked up a document, his jaw dropped wide in embarrassment. Every move of the factors of the empire was written.
‘It’s a big harvest. I never thought the rose society would have this kind of information.’
As Natalie sat down in her chair, one of her men lit a pipe and held it out to Natalie with an extremely polite gesture.
“This is Yuma. He is the man the rose society should follow.”
It was a sudden introduction, but Natalie’s subordinates seemed not to be taken aback.
“I checked the contents of the letter. There must be a backlash from Hoeju-nim’s headquarters…
“I will go and solve that part myself as soon as my body is completely healed. As you may know, Chen, it wouldn’t be strange if Haseo was destroyed anytime.”
“We will follow the will of the Lord.”
“Before I go back to the headquarters, I’ll pull out a list of those who plotted tricks with Haseo’s leadership. I will go back and purify them all, and move the rose society headquarters to the capital of the empire.”
“All right.”
Chen was one of Natalie’s most trusted subordinates. There was talk of Chen as the next owner of the rose society.
“Awesome.”
It was sincere.
Just by looking at this one scene, I could see how freely Natalie was managing the huge organization called the Rose Society as if it were her own body. It was a leadership skill to be learned.
“You asked me to come with a letter. Let me reflect.”
Chen bit his subordinates. Then, Natalie explained in detail the changes and currents in the Rose Society while she was in Yoheim.
“As expected, the king is making such a judgment.”
“what’s the matter?”
Yuma asked.
“Nothing. About the content that will leave no regrets about the rose society betraying Haseo-guk?”
“ ᄋ “It’s not that important right now. Chen.”
“Yes, Lord.”
“Bring all the records of the First Princess of the Empire. Also the records of Hayes Rollmandy and Barry Scannon.”
“All right.”
Natalie savored her pipe while Chen went to pick up the records.
“Yuma, the other day you said there was something I didn’t understand, right?”
These were the words he said after hearing about Yuma in the hospital room.
“It did.”
“The first princess stood by you, and you guessed that it was the first princess who was related to Yoheim because of that. But I just can’t figure it out.”
“Which part?”
“As far as our rose society knows, the first princess of the empire is not that crazy.”
